    I went out and bought seeds a few years back, based on the assumption that they were genetically NOT going to produce offspring plants (that is seed plants).

    Not only was it a load of bullshit, I was able to pick and save seeds from corn, beans, cucumbers and about a half dozen other seeding plants that were mentioned specifically as being "genetically modified and unable to reproduce" on some of the "Survival Lists".

    Again... it was bullshit then, and I'm betting it's bullshit now.

    Instead of listening to this crap and taking it hook, line and sinker we need to be TESTING these theories out.

    It's not the myth that GM seeds won't reproduce; if that were the case no one would have been getting sued over the past decade. And even if they found a way to keep them from reproducing, after enough cross pollination attempts the heirloom gene could get turned back on.

    It's folks like Monsanto wanting to control the worlds seed market through GM copyrighted patents. You could make a case that this forces larger farms to move toward GM operations and pushes out the smaller organic farmers.

    After the Ethanol Debacle, Salmonella-Tomato and Peanut Butter Outbreaks taking down segments of our American farms and processing capabilites with increasing regulatory measures, now it looks like they are trying shut down local organic farms, why?

    Food prices may be rising again soon, coupled with forcing everyone to chip their livestock or they can't be processed makes a tangible effort in ranching and dairy operations to control, track and capture carbon taxes. Together all of this could make food a serious commodity in the future.

    Shhh...don't tell anyone if you saved GM patented seeds, they've been actively looking for folks who kept them without paying their annual patent seed rights.
